Project Description

A few projects we have worked on were featured in Wood Digest. On both of these examples, I worked as a custom cabinet contractor for a local general contractor. These are examples of two kitchens I created cabinets for.

The Challenges

The first, the client wanted the kitchen to resemble an old farmhouse. The cabinets were created out of cherry and combined with the brickwork to create the atmosphere of an old farmhouse kitchen. The second included a kitchen as well as custom cabinetry elsewhere in the house and was designed out of maple specifically for the house. There was a full maple overlay with a custom finish.

Project Description

Turned an unused space in a home into a useful library.

The Challenges

We built the library entirely out of walnut. The wood was finished with a clear coat rather than a stain to preserve the natural beauty of the wood. We built out the doors, accents and ceiling beams as well. All pieces are solid wood with the exception of the partitions and back of the bookcase which are veneered plywood.

Custom entertainment center. The 3-panel section over the TV is removable to accommodate a larger TV in the future.

Project Description

We were tasked with creating an entertainment center which would match this custom kitchen I built in 2000.

The Challenges

The kitchen was created from quarter sawn white oak. We needed to create a custom entertainment center to match the kitchen. We intentionally left the wood unstained as the client required a very specific finish which they hired an artist to achieve. The kitchen cabinets were created with a faux overlay style frame and panel door. They are not just one solid piece. Cabinet ends were also frame and panel, as per the home architect’s design.
